That, even in his current state, gets a slight wince. Apparently he managed to screw that one up worse than usual. And maybe it doesn't really matter, insofar as he may well have driven Tim off in one way or another further down the line - but it does make one thing very clear.

The time to back off might have been a while ago, for all he knows, but he definitely won't be doing any good by hanging around now.

Ginko nods, slowly, and takes a step back, then another. "...I'm sorry."

He leaves without another word, back the way he came. His own business here can wait. ...Preferably until Tim has left.
